What if the stories you tell yourself are the reason you stay stuck?

We talk envy, expectations, and why it’s easier to cheer for strangers than friends. This one’s about taking back control, acknowledging real barriers without letting them define you.

We dig into how low standards spread, how to spot a “that’s not for people like us” mindset, and why raising the bar helps everyone rise. It’s honest, practical, and a little uncomfortable in the best way.

If you’ve ever felt held back by your own ceiling, this episode might be the push you need.
